The tyre manufacturer said the affected products may have been overcured during production.

The company explained that overcured tyres may develop a break in the sidewall, resulting in sudden air loss or experience tread separation, increasing the risk of a crash.

In regard to what to do, Continental will replace the affected tyres free of charge, agency report said.

Owner notification letters were expected to be mailed January 12, 2023.

Meanwhile, affected tyre owners may contact Continental’s Customer Service on (888) 799-2168.
